Abstract excerpt
In modern societies, biodegradation of hydrophobic pollutants generated by industry is important for environmental and human health. In Gram-negative bacteria, biodegradation depends on facilitated diffusion of the pollutant substrates into the cell, mediated by specialised outer membrane (OM) channels. Here we show, via a combined experimental and computational approach, that the uptake of monoaromatic...
